"Objection!"
The word was spoken simultaneously by both the D.A. and the Professor. Then the defendant bowed toward the District Attorney, and asked him to continue.
For one of the few times in his life, Walhfred Anderson found himself faced with the same objection, at the same time, from both prosecution and defense. What a morning! He felt like turning the court over to a Cyber judge right here and now, and stomping back to his chambers. Let Holmes try getting along with a Cyber!
The D.A.'s voice slashed into his thoughts.
"The People object on the grounds that there is ample precedent in law for the type of court demonstration to which we have agreed...."
"For example," spoke up the Professor, "People vs. Borth, 201 N.Y., Supp. 47—"
The District Attorney blinked, and looked wary again.
"The People are not familiar with the citation," he said, "but there is no reason to be in doubt. The revised Judicial Code of Procedure provides for automatic and immediate review of disputed points of law by the Cyber Appellate Division."
CAD! Walhfred Anderson customarily used every legal stratagem to avoid the indignity of appearing before CAD. But now he was neatly trapped.
